Abstract:

To evaluate the effect of apple dwarfing rootstocks on the scion growth and drought resistance,we used four-year-old apple trees with different scion-rootstock combinations(‘Fuji’/G935,‘Fuji’/M9-T337 and‘Fuji’/SH6). Morphology analysis of these three apple trees showed that‘Fuji’scion grown on SH6 exhibited significantly reduced leaf thickness,palisade tissue thickness and stomatal density compared with the‘Fuji’grafted on G935 and M9-T337. Furthermore,three kinds of apple trees were exposed to drought stress treatment for determining their drought tolerance and recovery feature after re-watering. The analysis of drought-related physiology parameters indicated that compared with the other two grafted combinations,the‘Fuji’/SH6 combination displayed enhanced water use efficiency(WUE),osmoregulation substance content,superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity and ABA content,and the reduced malondialdehyde(MDA)content,net photosynthetic rate(Pn),transpiration rate(Tr)and stomatal conductance(Gs)under drought stress. The results of membership function analysis showed that‘Fuji’/SH6 had the optimal drought resistance,followed by‘Fuji’/G935,and‘Fuji’/M9-T337 had the worst drought resistance. Overall,‘Fuji’/SH6 grafted combination showed excellent drought resistance.
